First, the tsunami.Then the ferry that sank in the Java sea.Then the plane with 102 passangers that just vanished (Lost, I know you now!)Then the two eartquakes on Monday.And now The jet that crashed and burned on landing (Also JOhn Howard -pure class that man. 'Australia should prepare for bad news' because there were 9 Australians on that plane (among a hundred Indonesians) and now four are missing. Because obviously the news of just Indonesians coming to a bad end is not enough to shock and sadden Australians. Ah, those Indonesians. Always dying in large numbers in catastrophes. Such attention-seekers).

It begs the question, what next? Asteroids from space? The whole of Indonesia vanishing like Atlantis? Bush deciding that they are hiding nukes?
